NCAP new directive
« on: June 21, 2025, 05:42:15 AM »
NCAP are to penalise cars if they rely on screens instead of physical buttons

A lot of cars where all or most things are controlled via a touchscreen have suffered accidents when the driver was distracted

Sounds good to me. Manufacturers have overdone it!

One thing I really like in the mk.3 Jazz is big round knobs for the heating/ventilation. You know it makes sense.
It was the first thing I commented on to the sales person when I went to view my car, he smiled.

That's good.  Screens are a distraction when driving . Having to look down to adjust cabin temp / air circulation really annoying.
